Pingu and Snakes (ok only one snake)

I took my students outside and it worked!!  Yesterday we had watched Pingu Plays Hockey and written the story together in the present tense.  Today they had to rewrite it in the past tense. They were working in teams and . . they really worked.  Only after we caught the snake and dealt with it.  There was a small baby snake but it was coiling and doing the head thing you see cobras do in the movies (not a cobra but a viper).  I scooted it into a coke bottle with the help of a student while most of them stood up on benches and shrieked.   Great entertainment. It was a beautiful blue sky day until about 4 when we got soaked again, then a clear sky tonight. 
After school I cleaned His Holiness's toilet, bathtub and helped clean the really filthy kitchen at the guest house. 

I just love these photos - don't the students look great?
